Utility of Robotic Arm based Rover in Assistive Technology

Shashwat Pandey, Sandeep Banerjee, Akhil Jayan, Kshitij Singh

Abstract


This study is a cumulative effort towards building a smart rover for the field of assistive
technology. The rover has a robotic arm mounted on it which can be controlled using a
mobile application that can be installed on any smartphone. The robotic arm’s base is a
robust four wheeled platform powered by electric motors and able to withstand some level of
harsh environment. The kinematic equations of the robot arm have been verified in this study.
Safe to use for any human and property has been considered as the prime concern. It can be
manually controlled by the subject to pick and place an object by means of Bluetooth and the
arm can be controlled by the real-time wrist and hand movements by odometry sensors of the
phone. There is also a storage container on this rover to store the items picked by the arm and
carry. Due to the prominence of Bluetooth and mobile data in homes these days, this can
contribute towards an assistive technology medium that takes care of those who have chronic
joint problems. This acts as a portable exoskeleton that the subject does not need to be pushed
around by themselves but which can move itself.
